The Steel Horse

Steel Horse
This is the Steel Horse. A retro bike in classic design. And my new bike. Made from TIG welded steel. Size 57 cm. A single speed, fixed gear groovy looking black racer from Stålhästen. After the first test ride I discovered a few new muscles! This will be a good workout every ride. It weighs 13 kilo. It has 28-inch Kenda wheels. The saddle and grips are brown leather. I will probably show you more photos of it in the future. This photo is shot using the Brenizer method so it is around 20 photos shot with the 85mm lens and then stitched together.

Now this is art. On so many levels. It's such a beautiful bike. I'm surprised it weighs 13 kilos though. It looks much lighter. Anyway, enjoy it !

At last, the beast! Oh yeah. Leather grips and seat- old school cool. And a beautiful portrait.

It is a handsome photo and a handsome bike, but just one fixed gear? Why?

I have two other bikes with a lot of gears. One that I bought just a couple of years ago. That one works everywhere. This is of course more of a road bike and a bit of a challenge ant that is what I was looking for. I will have to fix "The Colorado" which was a gift from a friend. It needs new wiring and a new chain.

Enjoy your new bike! You would have enjoyed seeing the racing bikes used in our "Tour de Dung" races yesterday.
